It probably should be but at the same time it's quite clear the government have absolutely no idea how to actually make any of it happen or how to make a success of it. I think it really needs to be considered that at least half of the exiters voted for quite the wrong reason.

..of course it should be respected but I still don't see it as a good outcome, though...(and it would be the same if it had slightly favoured Remain also..)..just because it's been a fairly split vote..so really a dividing vote, which could never be good for a country, surely..it's more now..(and this is the unknown for the moment/unknown is always a little scary..)...how other countries will view us in terms of trade etc and just generally...will us being seen as a divided country cause a reluctance to trade with us..?../I honestly don't know...

Depends how you define 'wrong' doesn't it. I would take that to mean they voted on immigration reasons and I don't really think this can be denied, given the leave campaigns main point was immigration? And that immigration is not realistically going to change if we are to strike any kind of trading deal with the EU. So in effect, a fair few were 'duped' into voting as it appears changes to immigration (nor the fund to the NHS, which people believed also) are actually unlikely.

Lord Ashcroft'smega-poll of 12,369 voters after the referendum suggested as such, finding that one third of Leave voters chose to back Brexit as they saw it "offered the best chance for the UK to regain control over immigration and its own borders." This was the second biggest motivation for Leave voters, just behind “the principle that decisions about the UK should be taken in the UK”.

Poll at the bottom too. Majority of people who voted leave did so because of immigration, of people who took the poll.



Of course, some remainers feel duped too. Of people I speak to a few regret voting stay (even though their vote made no difference anyway) because they were scared they would lose their pensions, which apparently was a huge lie. Some regret being scared of losing their jobs, as it appears now they won't no matter what happens. I think its a bit too early to be breathing a sigh of relief just yet about your job though, given nothing has even been set in stone yet and companies may well bugger off.
